"Caliban is a former UEE system lost during the Vanduul push. The Fall of Caliban in 2884 is famous for being the last time a Vanduul Kingship was in UEE space. The ensuing battle also featured the Lost Squad’s last stand against overwhelming odds. Over six decades later, both worlds remain a feast for the harvesters of roaming Vanduul Clans."

The system was reportedly discovered in 2341 by Ashleigh Gonn, a hauler working in the Nul System. When pirates swarmed her, she Quantum traveled to evade and scanned for potential tracking pirates. Instead she uncovered a spacial anomaly that turned out to be a Small Jump Point connecting to the Caliban System. Gonn immediately turned in the data to the UNE and named the system after her father, and then vanished from the public eye. However, when pathfinders moved into the system they found an abandoned human settlement on Caliban 4f containing valuable ores, bringing her claim of discovery into dispute.[1]
